Chapter Three: Camp Half-Blood
POV: Leo Valdez
When I heard that Ladybug and Cat Noir are in NYC, I flipped.
When I heard that Annabeth and Percy met them, I flipped even more.
When I heard that Annabeth and Percy brought two mortals into camp, I stopped flipping.
"Can we hurry up and have the meeting already? I need to find out where Cat Noir was last spotted so I can track him down!" I complained.
Annabeth rolled her eyes at me.
"Whats so funny?"
"Leo, just chill, okay? Stop fangirling already and please shut up! I'm trying to listen!" Kylie Miller, a co-counsler from the Aphrodite cabin, snapped at me.
"Hey, it's not my fault Ladybug ran from you when you were trying to get an interview for your Demi-Blog!"
Did I forget to mention that we're not the greatest of friends?
"Oh, yeah? Well, she was about to transform!"
"Mmm hmm," Me and Kylie were glaring at each other, nose to nose. "At least my powers haven't killed anybody." It came out of my mouth before I could even think about what I was saying.
Kylie stared at me, her jaw clenched and tears threatening her eyes.
"Oh. Kylie, I didn't mean-"
"Just to let you know, James was saving me. But your right. It is my fault he died,"
A silence fell over the room.
"Kylie, it's not your fault. He chose to-"
Kylie slammed her fist on the table. "Can't you just shut up for once, Leo?! I... let's just start the meeting already, ok?" She slammed her head on the table in frusteration.

"Anyway..." Annabeth continued, with one worried glace at Kylie, who was refusing to meet anyones eyes. "I'd like to introduce all of you to Marinette Dupein Chang and Adrian Agreste, to mortals who we have invited to stay here at camp."
Annabeth sat down as a boy and girl stepped forward.
The girl had her bluenette hair pulled back in childish pigtails, her bluebell eyes scanning the room shyly. She bit her lip nervously, shuffling her feet. She wore a pink shirt decorated with flowers, a long sleeved navy blue jacket, pink leggings, and black dress shoes completing her outfit flawlessly, giving her a Paris style. A pink purse lay harmlessly over her shoulder.
The boy was blond, his eyes green and his outfit simple.
Okay, he looked like a model. His smile was kind yet annoying in some way, and I had the feeling that he was famous for something.
"Your Adrian Agreste! The whole entire Aphrodite cabin was swooning over your perfume ad this morning!" Piper shook her head in disgust and disbelief.
"If only they were here," Kylie shook her head, smirking and taking a photo of him.
Adrian was obviously embarassed, and the girl turned a little red, glaring at Kylie.
Hmm. Someone has a crush.
"Yeah... that's all my father," Adrian sighed.
"Anyway..." The girl said, breaking the akward slence in the air. "My names Marinette, and your probably wondering why there are two mortals at your camp for cdemigods. Well, we... I... gah," Marinete stuttered as she noticed everyone staring at her, blushing. Adrian laughed.
"What Mari is trying to say is that we're here to warn you. You see, we're... how do you say...? Ugh," Adrian sighed. "Fine. We're-"
Suddenly, a small bug-like thing flew out of Adrian's jacket, it's green cat eyes and ears making it look like a cat, it's fast movement and stubby arms freaking me out.
"They're super heroes!" It said, grinning and showing us all two tiny fangs.
"Plagg!" Adrian groaned, facepalming. Marinette's left eye twitched.
"WHAT HE HELL IS THAT THING?!" Percy, Jason, Frank, and I all screamed at the same time, and I fell of my chair.
"Nice one, Valdez." Kylie smirked.
"Whatever, Miller." I snapped, standing up.
"What does Plug or whatever you said mean by 'super heroes'?" Kylie asked, ignoring me, a look of pure interest on her face.
"What Plagg is trying to say-" A tiny and feminine voice came from Marinette's purse, which opened, revealing a creature like Plagg, only red with black spots and entennaes instead of ears. "-is that Marinette and Adrian aren't like most teens!" She exclaimed, glaring at Plagg, who shrugged, still grinning. "My names Tikki, and Plagg and I are kwamis!"
Plagg and Tikki posed together as if they were taking a photo.
"Oh, sure, why not just let our kwamis do all the talking!" Marinette sighed, crossing her arms.
"Hold up, what are you trying to say?!" Hazel asked.
Tkki was about to answer, but Marinette cut her off.
"Tikki, just skip the lecture and get to the point, please. We're running out of time!"
Tikki frowned, but obeyed none-the-less.
"Marinette and Adrian-" Tikki begun, before-
"-are Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Plagg interupted, grinning even more.
Marinette and Adrian facepalmed, exchanging 'OH MY GOD' type looks.
Everyone was incrediblely silent until-
"OH MY GODS! CAN I HAVE YOIR AUTOGRAPH?!" Kylie and I fangirled at the same time.
Annabeth, Percy, Piper, and the rest of the Seven all facepalmed. Adrian and Marinette (LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR!) did as well.
"First of all, no. Second..." Adrian paused before- "WHAT THE HELL PLAGG?!"
"I knew I shouldn't have let him eat those cookies..." Tikki sighed, grabbing Plagg by the tail.
"TikkI! Can't we stay out for a little bit longer? I want to find some camenbert so we can have a pinic togeth-" Plagg was cut of short as Tikki dragged him back into Marinette's purse.
Marinette sighed. "Adrian, why is Plagg like this?"
"I wondered the same thing the minute I met that cheese-loving kwami," Adrian laughed nervously.
"So, you guys are super heroes?" Piper asked.
"DUH! They-"
Annabeth glared at me, and I shut up.
Marinette glanced at Adrian for surpport, and he nodded.
"Yes, and that's the reason your here. You see, are arch nemesis, HawkMoth, has left Paris and rumour has it is that he's after something- or even someone- here at Camp Half-Blood."
Kylie snickered. "We can take him,"
"Kylie, that's what I thought as well before these two convinced me otherwise. Adrian said that HawkMoth feeds off of your negative emotions, and uses these things called acomas to turn you evil, and he gives you unpredictable powers." Annabeth noted.
"Annabeth's right," Adrian admitted. "You've fought many different types of monsters, but HawkMoth is different. Swords and speical moves won't defeat him as easily as they defeat Greek monsters. You need... Ladybug," Adrian glanced at Marinette, blushing.
"My yoyo is the only thing that can de-evilize the acomas and turn who ever is acomatized back to their normal selves. But Ladybug is nothing without Cat Noir, her purrfect partner."
Adrian laughed, staring at Marinette. She blushed.
"Anyway, you need our Miraculouses in order to defeat him, but we'll also need your help."
"So, who's in?"
"HELL YEAH!" Me and Kylie grinned.
Piper and Jason shrugged. Frank and Hazel gave a thumbs up. Annabeth nodded.
"As long as theres not another war," Percy laughed.
"Then it's settled. Me and Adrian will stay here at Camp Half-Blood, and tomorrow, the real work begins."
"Yes!" Me and Kylie high-fived, even though we kind of don't get along.
"I'm gonna go tell Cal!" I said, rushing from the Big House and into the Strawberry Fields, trying to find Cal.
"Cal?! Cal, I have the greatest news!" I stepped on something, and looked down.
Calypso's gardening hoe was lying on the ground, a trail of dirt leading from the garden bed to the forest.
"CAL!" I screamed, chasing after the trail.
Suddenly, something hit me on the head and the last thing I saw before I blacked out was a single black butterfly landing on Cal's gardening hoe...
A/N Finally! I published the chapter.
Okay, so, before we go, I'm going to say a few things.
First of all, some of you may be wondering why I spell the cat part of Cat Noir C-A-T instead of C-H-A-T like most people do. You see, when people spell it that way I read it as chat, like a conversation, and not as cat, like the animal.
Second, I am so sorry these updates are taking forever.
Like I've said in a few of my other stories, I've been extremely busy lately and I like to plan ahead on my chapters so the plot goes well, and that can take a while.
Please only ask when the next update is a week or so after the most recent chapter has been published, and I'll tell you if I'm still planning the chapter, working on the draft, or getting it typed out or edited for publishing.
I also have two other books I'm trying to focus all my attention on right now (Devi Crow and M&P, my other crossover), as you can see that I've deleted or un-published or put some of my other stories on hold.
Third, I love seeing your comments and positive feedback, so, keep it up! It encourages me to write more and more everyday, even though I do it every second I can!
As I said earlier, please be patient for updates for I am extremely busy, my dad's mom passed away very recently and her service is on Sunday and we already have a bunch of family in town. I'm also starting an acting summer camp at my local theater (we're doing Beauty and the Beast!) on Monday, and that's two weeks long and I will only have free time in the evenings and on the weekends, so the next chapter probably won't be ready for the next two to three weeks.
A little trivia for you real quick (and no cheating!)! Whoever guesses them correct first gets a shout out in the next chapter!
In the Dark Owl episode, what was the box LB and Cat were trapped in filling up with; snow, salt, or whipped cream?
What was the first thing Annabeth said to Percy?
And last but not least, in the Sorcerer's Stone, what 'spell' did Ron chant to try to turn his stupid rat, Scabbers, yellow on the train?
This authors note is getting a little to long and you probably have somewhere to be, so, I'll end it there.
Thanks again!
